To set the charge limit on lithium-ion batteries using the OutBack Power MATE3 when using a generator, follow these steps:
1. Access the Settings Menu: - Go to the MATE3 interface. - Navigate to Lock and enter your user password.
2. Adjust the Inverter Charger Settings: - Select Settings > Inverter > Battery Charger. - Adjust the Absorb Time and set it to 0.1 (or as required for your battery specifications).
3. Ensure Charge Parameters Are Met: - The generator will continue running until the FlexNet DC (FNDC) charge parameters are reached. - Confirm that the battery charge settings align with the battery manufacturer's recommendations.
4. Monitor the System: - Use the MATE3 display to track battery state-of-charge (SOC). - Adjust settings as needed to optimize generator runtime and prevent overcharging.
This process ensures the generator charges the lithium-ion batteries efficiently while preventing overcharging.
